For the past 14 years, I have been in working towards getting in shape. I put so much pressure to maintain an unrealistic version of myself, I have to admit I'm miserable. And, only after going to therapy am I starting to deal with these issues. I have a cycle of loading my plate with things numerous things I want to accomplish, overloading myself, making it impossible to complete because I'm so overwhelmed. How do I fix this?
1. Clearing my plate: This sounds easier said than done. With work, kids, husband, and personal goals it hard to know where to start. All of these things seem important, and they are, so deciding what that most important and then working around it. Currently, it's important to me that I am healthy and I don't gain anymore weight.
2. Going consult with my doctor. For years, I avoided the doctor because they always told me I was fat and unhealthy but I found a new doctor who has been working with me to solve a lot of my aliments. Most of them are gone but I still am working on eating cleaner. I am starting February 22th with a cleanse. So, no dairy, no gluten, no grains, and no sugar for 21 days. I know, but I need to learn discipline and how to get creative with food. I am ready for the challenge.
3. Cute Outfits, I have preached this before. When you look good you feel good no matter your size. I just joined a gym but I still wanted to look cute when I worked out at home.
4. Taking my time. I didn't gain 40 pounds over night. It was over a 15 year period. When I thought about it in a new way, there was a little bit of relief. One thing I do, is every time I am seating for more than an hour, I get up and do something. A walk, a bike ride, squats, anything is better than just sitting around.
Whatever you are thinking about starting, just do it. It won't be perfect you will fail a couple times but each time you will gain wisdom and get better.
